As long as the price stays low, a 200-horsepower Civic Si won’t be irrelevant.

This reminds me of when Sebastien Bourdais won 4 titles in Champ Car and publicly talked shit about F1 drivers, saying other than a few drivers on the grid, most were just pay drivers there to fill out the grid. If I remember correctly, he said he only had respect for a few drivers in the sport, saying Champ Car had…

A shockingly bad take, yikes.

9/13/21

Wow, no.

This is brilliant trolling.

15% of F1 drivers are pay drivers. Maybe the budget cap can help eliminate that and make way for more talented drivers.

Indycar is more like the CFL to F1's NFL. It looks familiar, but something’s just not quite right. A good fallback for players who weren’t quite good enough, but once they sign that contract, they’re never going to the big show.

This is a really bad take.

the only drivers going to Indy are those who have been told they won’t get to F1 or have lost their seat in F1. either they are not incandescent talents (like max, norris, russel, leClerc) or the don’t have the combination of good enough + lots of money (stroll, mazespin, latifi and stroll…

Can we send that sack of shit Mazaspin to Indy?

This was a very weird take. Indycar isn’t siphoning off F1’s hottest young talent, they’re siphoning off the guys who couldn’t get a seat.

Indy is where F1 drivers go when they can’t make it in F1. It’s a step down.

Yet another Jalopnik article written by someone clueless about Formula 1. Indy Car gets F-1 drivers who retire from F-1 or who lose seats in F-1 because the team lost confidence in the driver and wants to try a different driver. There are multiple competitive open wheel series running in Europe for the express purpose…

You folks are on another planet sometimes.

9/12/21

Yeah, if the “talent” = Magnussen, Grosjean and Ilott, F1 will be just a-ok. Shame Rossi never got a real shot, though.

9/12/21

Bad take is bad...

9/12/21

What?

9/12/21

40% of the grid is younger than 24. Over half are 26 or younger.

9/12/21

I’m pretty sure there are no potential staffing shortages in the F1 driver ranks. Most of the Indycar guys would drop it in a hot minute if they had a shot at F1.

“ leaving F1 scrambling to find adequate young talent to fill its seats.”
